Notes:

The Bustleton Branch began in Tustin's Drug Store in 1905, as a "traveling library;" then from 1911-1941, it operated out of St. Luke's Chapel.

From 1942-1960, the branch occupied the Union Hall building--seen in this ca. 1942 image--at 9230 Bustleton Pike. Since the late 1970s, this building has housed the St. Peter and St. Paul Orthodox Church.

The Bustleton Branch serves the neighborhoods of Bustleton and Somerton, and, since 1965, is located at 10199 Bustleton Avenue.
